> I left Dropbox when they stopped supporting Linux client.

Wait a second. Did they? My Dropbox client is currently working on my Arch system.

At some point they build in a filesystem check and stopped running on anything but ext4 (or btrfs?). IIRC they were constantly giving some notification as well.

It didn't really make sense either and I know several people moved away from Dropbox because they were using xfs. I'm using pCloud with their lifetime 1TB plan.

They relaxed that constraint within a year of that announcement, it supports most filesystems that support xattrs now.
